Windham Veterans Association received an
additional $2,500 toward the Toby’s Dream campaign this past week when Modern
Woodmen matched $2,500 of the money the Veterans raised with $2,500 for a total
of $5,000 toward the project.

To date WVA has raised over $54,000
toward the paving of the parking lot at the Windham Veterans Center. Twenty
names will be considered “grand donors” having donated $1,000 or more.

Any additional money WVA raises will go
toward other improvements in the property. The paving is planned for this
summer, but details are still being worked out, according to Brenda Pennels.

“WVA appreciates all the support for the
project from the Pennels family, Veterans and the community,” said Don Swander,
the project director for and creator of the Toby’s Dream project. WVA hopes to
complete the paving this summer.
